Services: We partner horses with people to have experiential opportunities for learning and personal growth. Activities can focus on communication, relationships, perseverance, problem solving, and other areas of personal growth. Successful Strides offers Horse Powered Reading®, Tutoring with a Twist, Youth cooperative skill building, equine assisted learning programs and psychotherapy sessions. Partnering with horses offers clients an experiential opportunity working alongside a non-judgmental, non-verbal, living being. Though gentled and trained, horses still rely on their instinct to respond to situations and they read the intention of those they work with in sessions. It is extremely powerful.
